This four-part miniseries is based on A. B. Facey's best-selling autobiographical novel, which tells of the early trials and tribulations of Bert Facey. At eight years old, he was forced by economic circumstances to start the backbreaking, dawn to dusk life of a farm laborer. Unschooled, his father dead, abandoned by his mother, by the age of twenty he had survived the rigors of pioneering the harsh Australian bush and the slaughter of the bloody First World War campaign on the Gallipoli peninsula. Despite this early deprivation, he finds happiness in his marriage in 1915 to his wife of nearly sixty years, Evelyn. A Fortunate Life is an inspirational tale of one man's struggle against seemingly overwhelming barriers to achieve peace and contentment.
